Drupal 8 uses Composer to manage dependencies. In this training, we'll look at how to keep dependencies, like Drupal core and contrib modules, out of GitHub and automate the build portion of your workflow with Continuous Integration. This will allow for cleaner pull requests, reliable site builds and integration with other tools, like Slack.
Prerequisites
Students will need to have a free Pantheon account, GitHub account, and CircleCI account. Students will need Composer and Terminus installed locally. A basic understanding of Drupal 8 is useful, but all exercises will include step-by-step instructions.
Target Audience
-
Developers who want to learn how to use Composer for compiling Drupal 8, modules, and requirements.
-
Teams that want to automate their development workflow with Composer + Drupal 8.
Dev Environments
Mac OSX, Linux, or Windows (but you may need extra help)
